Chicago Bulls guard Lonzo Ball (wrist) will miss his seventh straight game Saturday against the Houston Rockets as he continues to deal with a right wrist sprain. The 27-year-old has struggled with injuries, making it tough to rely on his availability. His next chance to return comes Monday against the Jazz, but his status remains uncertain. If Josh Giddey (ankle) is also ruled out, Tre Jones and Kevin Huerter should see increased minutes.

Milwaukee Bucks point guard Kevin Porter Jr. (ankle) is on the injury report for Saturday's contest against the Indiana Pacers, but he is expected to play, as the team has given him a probable designation. The 24-year-old is battling a left ankle sprain. Porter Jr. was outstanding at both ends in Thursday's win over the Los Angeles Lakers, recording 22 points with two blocks and two steals. However, with Damian Lillard (groin) in the lineup, fantasy managers can't rely on Porter Jr. to provide consistent production.

Milwaukee Bucks point guard Damian Lillard (groin) once again holds a probable tag on the injury report entering Saturday's matchup against the Indiana Pacers. He has been a regular on the report due to groin soreness, but Lillard has made 10 consecutive appearances. During this stretch, Lillard has averaged 23.9 points, 4.3 rebounds, and 5.9 assists. However, the nine-time All-Star has picked up his playmaking recently, recording back-to-back double-doubles with assists. Lillard finished with 15 points and 11 assists on 4-for-14 shooting when the Bucks kicked off this week with a dramatic 115-114 loss to the Pacers.

Dallas Mavericks guard Dante Exum (wrist) suffered a fractured left wrist during Friday's loss to the Houston Rockets. He will be sidelined for at least a month, with the team providing updates when available. The 29-year-old missed three months to begin the 2024-25 campaign because of a wrist injury before returning at the end of January. When healthy, Exum had played well, averaging a career-high 9.1 points and shooting 44.7% from behind the arc. With Kyrie Irving (knee) ruled out for the rest of the season, Spencer Dinwiddie, Brandon Williams, and Max Christie should split time in the backcourt. At any rate, there's a chance Exum, who will be a free agent this summer, may not be back on the floor for any team until next season, considering Dallas is barely holding on to the final Play-In spot.

Brooklyn Nets guard Cam Thomas (hamstring) is expected to miss the remainder of the 2024-25 campaign. He has another left hamstring strain, with the team ruling him out due to "the number of days remaining in the schedule and the time needed to appropriately recover." Outside of the injuries, the 23-year-old had an excellent season, averaging career-highs in points (24.0), rebounds (3.3), and assists (3.8). But with Thomas and the organization failing to reach a contract agreement early in the season, he'll become a restricted free agent this summer. Without question, the 2021 No. 27 overall pick is loaded with talent. However, Thomas' inability to stay healthy will negatively impact his fantasy stock moving ahead. Without Thomas on the floor, guys like Tyrese Martin and Keon Johnson should benefit.
